COLLABORATIVE PROJECT: UPTOWN GATEWAY DISTRICT

In 2013 DBRDS was invited by the Pernicano family to participate in the collaborative effort which has become known as the Uptown Gateway District. Working with partners Safdie Rabines Architects, The Atlantis Group, Urban Housing Partners, The Greenwald Company, The London Group & The Savory Group our efforts lead to approvals at San Diego City Council & Planning Commission to prevent the down-zoning of Hillcrest’s urban core and the implementation of a Specific Plan for the Gateway District ensuring that public infrastructure, public gathering spaces, urban park spaces, walkability, bike ability, both affordable and market rate housing, retail and commercial opportunities can be developed within the urban core for San Deigans to live, work and play in Hillcrest for generations to come.

“THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO HAS ADOPTED TWO KEY FORWARD-LOOKING LAND USE DOCUMENTS, ITS GENERAL PLAN, AND ITS CLIMATE ACTION PLAN. BOTH DOCUMENTS CALL FOR MORE INTENSE USE OF LAND TO ENCOURAGE TRANSIT RIDERSHIP, WALKING, BICYCLING, AND ACCESS BETWEEN HOMES AND JOB CENTERS.”– Colin Parent, Policy Counsel, Circulate San Diego
